It works ok

the actual defense is number of hits...which you dont get much of...and doesnt work most of the time.(it does display the number when you activate it)

The thrall mechanic...it sort of works....but then is stopped by the enemies using special abilities. So bubbles and just about any special will turn it off.
Also enemies effcted by the thrall...dont always go after other enemies and other enemies dont always go after them....you and other players can kill the thralls too.....whihc most players will do.

You would think it would literally make big groups suddenly infect each other....and it doesnt.

Timer on it is a bit low....you can get up to 30 seconds before all thralls are no longer...yeah the timer is how long your thralls will last....if another is made the timer still counts down...so kind of silly in that respect.

The damage it lists does not happen....its either alot lower or non existent..it says like 200 per second...yeah...no.

Eximus are the worst becasue they literally will cancel your powers.....their enchantment literally will turn it off alot....and they drain your energy....and if you are at zero energy the timers will turn off too.

And the big number 4 spinning around shotting...does ok damage...but doesnt hit much....
I noticed this doing a defense mission...i mean it hits alot....but not that many and its damage is not that good....mods dont seam to help it either....as it did about 200 damage pulses if you where hitting with a beam...and did the same with extra mods.

In my opinion it seamed like a frame that was trying to do sneaky solo stuff but has powers that just dont seam to help it for that.

it does have a fairly large health shields and armor rating though.

He's talking about Phantasma, the shotgun introduced with Revenant.

[MystMan]

Of the beam shotgun category, I find it better than Convectrix and Phage. It deals good punch through damage directly without having to wait for beams to line up.
It lacks long range but it's a shotgun.
Bad ammo economy, needs ammo mutation mod.

Alt fire can deal self-damage but it does its job good.
Small ammo clip, you will be reloading constantly like it's Strun.

It's managable. I built mine as Radiation + Corrosive + Blast + Fire Rate + 100% Sttatus Chance. Melts Lv.125 Heavy Gunner like it was nothing.

Now here's the problem, because of it's short range, you will be forced to go near enemies, that is why I added Blast to CC the enemy. I tried Rad + Corrosive but it was not very effective, I died so many times because of this.

Here's my build.

Saved, thank you

I would say it's one of the strongest non-riven modded weapons I've ever used.
